Planning on giving a baby shower for the expectant parents of twins? You will probably wonder if you have to get double of everything for twins, or how you can take an idea that was made for one baby and double it to make it work for the twins. There are many great favors that you can make for twins. These can be easily made for the party and the twin theme can be carried through to the favor theme.

Depending on what the party theme is you can take that theme and add to it. While you can make double the favors, its easier to make just one favor with the “double” theme.

One thing that you can make is the painted flower pots and adapt them to twins. You can do this several ways. One is to buy the next size up from the smallest planter and paint them. You can put designs on the planters, and if you do, you will want to paint them on “double” two cherries, two hearts together, two of everything. This will continue the twins theme. Now when you get the seeds, choose plants that have bulbs, like daffodils. You want to choose bulbs because these will be easier to package for the favors. You will want to place “2″ bulbs in each flower pot. So now since you have you flower pot painted, and maybe designed, you will want to add the flowers.

What I did, and it turned out really cute was to get potting soil, Ziploc bags, and the flower bulbs and put the bulbs in the bag, with the soil and then put them in the flower pot. I then added a wooden dowel rod that I attached at the bottom with a piece of play dough, and stuck it straight up, on the top of that, i added a tag that resembled a cloth diaper – with a little poem that I made up. Then I assembled everything in the flower pot. The end result was very cute and the guest loved it.

Don’t want to paint the flower pots? Then take wrapping paper and put it around the flower pots. This will work great because of the potting soil will be in the bags and won’t damage the wrapping paper.

You can make very cute and useful favors for the baby shower for twins with just a little modification of single baby shower favors. Guests seem to love homemade baby shower favors more than generic store bought favors.

Then add a bow to the candle and its ready for a gift.

One easy way to do a decoration is to outline a simple design in glue and the just add glitter to make a simple design that is cute and again your guests will love them.

Another option for be to get the small tin candles. These are sold in dollar stores, and you can get them online at auction sites cheap also.  To make these, measure the top circle, then create your design and print from your computer. Cut the circles out and paste them on the lid and you will have a great little favor for a few cents each. Sometimes you can find stickers in stores that you can just peel and stick on the lids.

With this design you can wrap candy bars easily. Just add your information and you can easily make your own personalized candy bars that you can give out for favors at your events.

These wrappers can be personalized for any occasion, and are easy to make.

1. Measure the candy Bar you are going to overlay the new wrapping with.
2. In your word processor program, make a text box setting the size of the candy bar you just measured.  This is the outline of your candy bar wrapper.   Make it the exact size of the measurements you just did. *size is about 5.25 X 5.5
3. To add designs to it, you can search online for free clip-art or photos of what you want on your candy bar.
4. Add more text boxes on top of the candy bar template to add more content to your wrapper. You can use Word art here to make it stand out.
5. Move the text boxes around to where you want them on the layout. Remember you will have a front and back to the candy bar, so you will have to flip some of the boxes around so that it’s not upside down on the back.
6. Leave the background of the wrapper white – But colored paper instead – it’s cheaper than using all the ink.
7. Once you are satisfied with the design print a copy and test it on a candy bar before you print out a bunch of them.
8. Use a glue gun to glue them together around the candy bar or tape them.
9. You can use these over the candy bar wrapper from the factory- this has the information on that people will need to know, and also it’s sealed from there.

Candy bar wrappers can be used for any candy bar. The easiest one to wrap is Hershey’s candy bar, but you can do this for Kit Kat, Reeses, Boxed candy, and anything that you can fit paper around. Measure the candy bar, then pencil in a rough draft on that paper and you will have a good ideal of how it will look when its completed.

You don’t have to wrap just candy Bars. you can custom wrap Microwave popcorn, LifeSavers, Mints, Breath mints, Designer Soap, Lotions, and cider.

If you are going to put a label on a bottle, use stickers instead of paper, it will go on easier. Add ribbons to the top and maybe a small diaper pin and it will be a great favor for a baby shower.
